Heard...

I just had this conversation on the phone with Keeper Boy, and it was too good not to share...

Me: Hello?

Keeper Boy: Hey Mom.

Me: Hey Bud. What's up?

KB: So how do you use this Sun-In? [He has heard us talking about how Hubby used Sun-In when he was younger to lighten his hair.]

Me: Uh... what do the instructions say? I think you just spray it in your hair when it's damp and then either go out in the sun or dry your hair with a hair dryer.

KB: Oh, OK. Thanks.

Me: No problem. Bye.

KB: Bye.


Less than two minutes later, the phone rang again...

Me: Hello?

KB: Hey mom.

Me: Hi. What's wrong?

KB: How do you use the hair dryer?

Me: What do you mean how do you use it? You turn it on.

KB: Well yeah, but which end do you use?

Me: Uh... the end that the air comes out of after you turn it on...

KB: Oh. I thought there was two different ways to use it.

Me: [Laughing and trying not to snort] Nope. Just the one. Call me back if you need anything else.


Good Lord... we've been trying to teach him how to do laundry, load/unload the dishwasher, and cook simple things. Perhaps we should've started with the basics. Like how to operate a hair dryer!
